This is a very nice beginning. I like her expression. Tho, I think you mislabeled the media. Isn't this Digital?. I ask because on close inspection it has the sustained strokes of a digital program. I paint digitally 95% of the time, as well as teach the process...

The best portraits capture something of the subject's character, and that you have certainly done here. Mr Brown's comment surprises me. In his own profile and artwork he seems happy to describe it as painting, and not mention digital. On that basis, even if this were digital, saying you have "mislabled the media" seems a little contradictory to say the least.

Re Tony - I meant no disrespect. When ever I (posted in the past), I made it clear to mention "Digital", for I was Hammered by some who assumed I was somehow "cheating". It does look from my comments that I was trying to do the same. I wasn't. I guess enough artists are now using this new medium, that it isn't the "stepchild" it used to be.
